Mate it waqs the 84 Yammie IT490 for 12,000 that was the topper! Sorry but his prices seem to have gone back through the roof!!
-
$10000 RM400T $14000 IT490
at least the can of wet look seems to have run out ;)
-
I bought a bike off them 4yrs back. Was told it just needed the head gasket replacing. Yep, lucky I had the motor rebuilt, oils seal in the wrong way, piston, bearing etc!!! Yep had the wet look. but I must admit they did get the model I wanted, just not the price for what i got.
At least today they make them fire up for 30 seconds of video!!1 hopefully they provide better bikes than they did.

Those fully restored bikes that he's asking $10,000+ for you could probably get for under $2,000 U.S. Old dreamer on ebay is selling bikes in that sort of condition for better money. I looked at his feed back to see what he was paying for them on U.S. ebay and most were around the $1,200-1,600us mark.
But I don't think DDR's market is us. There's cashed up blokes on a nostalgia trip who aren't involved in the VMX scene who just want the bike of their childhood dreams who have the cash to buy one and put it in the poolroom. He does seem to move them. Although some have been sitting there for a few years now.

I've brought a number of bikes from Wade at DDR, he's a good honest bloke
and all the bikes have been better than described. Sure, if you want to shop
around and have the time to do so you will find cheaper, but in the end whats
your time worth. He's delivery guy's are also very good. Thats my experience
with Dead Dog Racing.

I heard on another site some one ran into trouble with an enduro they purchased from ddr because it wasn't adr complianced can't be registered.

A trap for young players, for sure. But with the number of old enduro bikes that were never complianced (even if you bought it new from your local dealer), and the fact that the DDR bikes are clearly imports, I reckon the buyer would be mad not to ask first.
-
I think that real early stuff can be rego'd without compliace. Just a worry I have been told either you have a comp plate or you need an engineers certificate so that is an additional cost to factor in if you plan on rego vmx it obviously doesn't affect.
-
Looks to me that DDR is a good option if you are not up to importing a bike yourself from the USA,as long as you dont mind paying around 3-5 times the bikes value if you had stumped up and got it direct from the US yourself.
On this subject I am experienced,its easy to see what they can be brought for out of the US,just check out Marks swapmeet/craigslist.
-
getting them rego`d depends on under what import approval they come in under if imported as a competition/off road only you cant get reg but if imported as a pre 89 bike you can
-
It's only his top shelf bikes that you could save a lot of money to bring in yourself.
I bought two TT500c's off him and paid $3,100 each and that's what they would of gone for all day long on ebay here. People are paying $6-7,000 for a fully restored one and the bidding is usually pretty hot. I'm sure I could of got them in the states for $800-1,200us then cart them to L.A. then ship them home, probably wouldn't of saved much. Plus all the headaches as I've never done it before. At least I got to look at about 8-10 TT's and take my pick. As Pallooka said, I too found Wade to be honest and good to deal with.

Yes indeed,like I said, if you dont have the confidence to do it yourself,DDR is a good way to go.......
